Michael and I had our wedding at the Radisson Blu, Little Island on New Year's Eve. We are still on a high! From our initial meeting right through to the day of our wedding, Joanne was fantastic to deal with. She was great at communicating with us, very helpful with any queries we had and she was also extremely organised. The food tasting was one of the most enjoyable aspects of planning the wedding. We already knew the food was nice but we were blown away by the different options and it made it difficult to settle on a final menu! Not to mention the lovely wine! Joanne was very calm when it came to last minute government restrictions imposed on our wedding and last minute guest drop-outs due to Covid. We appreciated how she never put us under any pressure and was so understanding when it came to these issues - this really put us at ease. The day itself went off without a hitch. The food was gorgeous - everybody was raving about it. Joanne constantly checked in with us and other members of the bridal party. On more than one occasion she noted we were "ahead of schedule" - this didn't happen by accident, it was purely due to Joanne's hard work all day. We opted to take all of our professional photos at the venue as it is gorgeous and it also saved time on the day - the gardens, Ditchley House and the ballroom all looked great. On Joanne's advice, we chose black seat coverings with gold bows at the meal (given it was NYE) and the room looked amazing on the day! Joanne co-ordinated all of the other suppliers on the day which ensured everything ran smoothly. Our wedding cake was set up beautifully in the ballroom and in line with the NYE theme. Overall, having our wedding at the Radisson was the best decision and we cannot wait to visit again. We wouldn't hesitate in recommending this hotel to any couple - in Joanne's capable hands, you are guaranteed that it will be the best day of your life! Thanks for everything - you are an absolute credit to the hotel! xox

We had an unforgettable wedding all thanks to the amazing team at Radisson Blu Hotel. Joanne was so helpful all the way through planning our day. Any queries we had she was so quick to respond. She really put us at ease with her friendly nature, and nothing was any trouble to her. On the day itself, Dori and her amazing team looked after everything you could think of and others that you wouldn't. We could switch off and enjoy every minute with our guests. Gabby and his team in the kitchen did an outstanding job. People are still talking about the meal to this day. It was the ideal venue for us to celebrate our wedding day. We would highly recommend Radisson Blu Hotel and their team.

I don't have the words to describe how happy we are that we had our wedding reception in Radisson Blu Hotel. Within five minutes of walking in for our first meeting, (genuinely!) we knew we were going to book there! Joanne, in particular, is an absolute dream to deal with. At no point did she make us feel like we were "just another wedding", or a cash cow the way some other hotels did. Instead, we consistently felt that she was genuinely interested in us having the best possible day. And we did! The food was absolutely outstanding. Our guests are still taking about it! Not only were the portions of the main mean very generous, but the food we arranged for both the drinks reception and later in the evening was very high quality. Everything was fresh and delicious. They also catered for all dietary restrictions any guests had with no issues, and with proper food. Their menu options are hugely varied, and I couldn't see how there wouldn't be something for everyone on there. Dori and Dora and the rest of the team there on the day were absolute pros. They run the day like a well oiled machine, and again, make you feel like you are the only wedding happening in the world. In fact, every staff member we met was nicer than the last! The options for customising the room for your reception also make it feel like your day is your day, not the hotels idea of your day. Joanne was in constant communication with us in the run up to our wedding, and was a brilliant communicator. She told us exactly what they needed from us, and by when. She is absolutely amazing at her job, and the hotel is lucky to have her. Overall, one of the best decisions we made was to book Radisson Blu. We can't recommend it enough! -Dee & Phil

Our wedding at the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Cork was magical. We had an intimate ceremony in the front room of Ditchley house. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas. We also had lunch in the backroom and wonderful wedding reception for approx. 240 people later in the evening. The hotel catered to our requests for a buffet meal that people raved about afterwards, especially the vegetarian curry. The grounds are perfect for photos, and being in the Radisson is a holiday in itself as it is nice and secluded. The breakfast was also a highlight for guests, particularly the children's buffet area. The kids were also whisked away to the children's club on the night of the wedding, which was a bonus. We can't thank Joanne and the team enough for making our wedding weekend so memorable.

We choose the Radisson Blu Hotel & Spa Cork after meeting Joanne. She was so friendly and warm. She made the whole process a breeze! Nothing was too much trouble. I loved the fact that any time we emailed, she would write back straight away. She was always there for us and was so helpful. Dori looked after us on the wedding day and she was just fantastic. The whole day ran without a hitch and this is due to the dedication and experienced staff. A huge thank you to everyone who makes the day so special! We have a friend's wedding in the hotel next year, and we are looking forward to going back and experiencing the wedding as a guest.

We got married at Radisson Blu Hotel in June, 2019. From the first viewing I knew it was the venue for us, as it is a beautiful modern hotel, with the vintage twist in ditchley house. The wedding coordinator, Joanne, was so easy to deal with and was always on hand for any queries. The hotel provided beautiful decor for both the ceremony room and ballroom, which I really loved. All of the staff were so amazing and efficient throughout the whole day, and the food was fabulous. We got lots of comments from guests after the wedding on what an amazing venue choice. I couldn't have asked for anything more, as we even had the gardens in bloom for all our photos. We even took a spin on the tandem bike. We recently returned, as we didn't get the anniversary stay due to covid, again everything was fabulous, and the staff were still so welcoming. I really couldn't recommend any higher this hotel as a wedding venue. It just has everything xx

We first met Joanne for a viewing about a year before our wedding. Afterwards we both walked out of the hotel, turned to each other straight away and said "this is it". Looking back since, we wouldn't have changed a thing about our wedding. Joanne was so helpful and clear in the lead up to the wedding, answering any questions we had quickly. Dori was very honest with us with about what would and wouldn't work on the day. I'll never forget when we first walked in to the half ballroom on the day, it was magnificent. Everything on the day went extremely smoothly thanks to Dori and the staff. Some of our guests still talk about the food, and the service every time we see them!

My husband, John, and I had the most amazing day we could have ever imagined. We loved everything about Radisson Blu Hotel. The day of our wedding was so magical and we honestly couldn't stop smiling all day. This was all down to Joanne, Dori and Gabi. They were fantastic to deal with. Nothing was a hassle for them, even changing the table planing the day before the wedding. No matter how many emails we sent or phone calls, Joanna always answered them and would solve any issue we had. Honestly I don't think I would have enjoyed the planning of my wedding if I didn't have them in it. I was so calm, and honestly I didn't stress once. Even my husband thought I was a new person, and that really was down to Joanne, Gabi and Dori, because I know they had everything under control.

We had a great day in the Radisson. It was so wonderful from start to finish. We couldn't have asked for more. The team walked us through every step of the process and we felt that everything was thought of and nothing was left to chance. We felt happy and excited after every visit with Joanne and Dori. They make an amazing team. The food and ditchley house were complimented the most by all guests. We would highly recommend!

Cian and I got married at Radisson Blu Hotel on October 3rd, 2020. In the midst of the pandemic, what was to be the greatest day of our lives could, have been one million times more stressful if it wasn’t for Joanne and the team at Radisson Blu Hotel. Organising a wedding can be taxing at anytime, but Joanne truly was amazing. So amazing that she managed to bring our wedding forward by a week, with only one weeks notice. The thought alone was stressful, but nothing was a problem for Joanne and Dori. Our wedding day was everything we wished for and more. The day ran so smoothly and all the staff were all so helpful. Our drinks reception took place in the ditchley house. The cocktails and Prosecco were a big hit with our guests, and the inside decor was picture perfect. We were blown away by the function room, it was so beautifully done. We can not to forget the food. All of our guests were delighted, a big thanks to Gabi. I can’t recommend Radisson Blu Hotel highly enough. Thanks for an amazing day, and life long memories. -Karen & Cian

Joanne and all the staff at Radisson Blu Hotel are so helpful, and easy to deal with. From the very beginning, everything went so smoothly. Joanne is so down to earth and understanding, we never felt pressured or panicked. Any queries, concerns, or issues were dealt with smoothly and promptly. Nothing was ever a bother to them. Everything went perfectly to plan on the day. They ensured that all the little bits we had planned and discussed beforehand were carried out on the day, unknowingly to us. The food was great, and more importantly, it was plentiful, which the guests really appreciated. We always look forward to our visits back there. We wish them every success in getting back to 'normal' after this difficult period for the industry.

We were absolutely blown away by all the wonderful staff at Radisson Blu Hotel! They proved excellent service. Joanne, Dori and staff, thanks so much for the amazing day you gave to us. When we went to book the venue, I knew wIthin seconds that this was the hotel we wanted to share the big day in. PlannIng a wedding in covid tImes was fairly overwhelming, but the girls touched base on numerous occasions. Thanks again to you all!

Without sounding too cheesy, the guys at Radisson Blu hotel made our day the absolute best it could be! After three cancellations throughout covid, the first being the week after lockdown first went in, the guys did everything possible to accommodate us throughout all the craziness of 2020. From cancellations to new dates, from losing various other vendors and other set backs, one of the least stressful parts was dealing with Radisson Blu. They answered all of our questions, even though we knew they didn't have all the answers, but even before covid there wasn't one thing to complain about. On the day itself, they were very supportive and made our day very special. A special thanks to Joanne, Dori and of course Gabi (the chef). I'd highly recommend the team at Radisson Blu Hotel for your special day! -Chris & Natalie Kelleher

UNFORGETTABLE :) I can only thank the amazing Joanne and all of RadIsson Blu Hotel staff for saving the day. After getting married in the worst snow storm in 100 years, and just making it to the church, but not to our venue, Joanne put me at total ease the few days leading up to it. However we had to reschedule the reception. She helped me find a new date, rescheduled all the bookings, and even helped me locate a few new suppliers. On the reception date, it was perfect from start to finish! We had a blessing in the hotel, and the room set up was stunning. We then went onto the reception. We had a scorcher of a day, and were lucky to enjoy the outside reception area, a drinks reception, that seemed endless (no complaints from anyone) and nibbles, that were so good. The main hall was set up to perfection, and the food from starters to dessert was amazing. Everyone complimented the chef on a great dinner! I can honestly say thIs hotel is amazing, and if you haven’t picked your venue yet please go meet the lovely Joanne to see it for yourself. Thank you for everything, Laura & James

Our wedding was at Radisson Blu Hotel. We had a top class experience from start to finish, and have nothing but the highest of praise for Joanne, Dori and all the staff at the hotel. Unfortunately, our original wedding date had to be cancelled due to COVID-19. The hotel made it really easy for us to rebook a new date, making an unfortunate situation as easy as possible for us. In the build up to the wedding, Joanne keep in constant contact with us. All of the staff were really obliging and helpful throughout the process, in what was no doubt a difficult time for everyone involved. On the day of the wedding, all the staff at the hotel were excellent and professional from start to finish. From the finger food upon arrival, the wedding meal and the late night snacks, the food was fantastic. It arrived promptly, which was important to us. Joanne and Dori's attention to detail was second to none. They had our day planned out minute by minute behind the scenes, while at the same time creating a lovely relaxed environment for our guests. Overall we couldn't recommend this hotel highly enough and are more than happy to give the team at Radisson Blue five stars, for giving us a fantastic day! Thanks to everyone!

We cannot thank the hotel staff enough for everything they have done to make our day so special! The waitstaff on the day were so helpful to my guests. The obvious little little things, which really add to the day and are remembered long after, were taken care of. I am especIally grateful for the extra effort from Joanne and DorI. They arranged our mini-moon perfectly for us.

The fantastic location of Radisson Blu Hotel was perfect for our special day. It was made all the more special by the wonderful and attentive staff. From our first encounter with Joanne, we knew we were in very safe hands for the most important day of our lives, which took all the stress (that people talk about) out of our wedding day. Dori could not have been a more helpful and calming presence throughout the day. She made sure that every detail was attended to. Gabi somehow managed to produce an exquisite banquet for our guests, accommodating all dietary requirements. It is almost three months later, and our guests are still talking about the wonderful experience they had at our wedding at Radisson Blu. -Carol & jason

From our first meeting with Joanne we felt at ease, and knew we had chosen the right venue. It was at the height of covid, therefore we could not commit to numbers immediately, but that did not phase them. We went ahead with a lovely relaxing menu tasting with Dori and Gabi . As it turned out, Dori was to be invaluable through out the whole day of the wedding, from start to finish. The meal was beautiful. The civil ceremony and dining rooms were decorated to perfection. The waiting staff were very pleasant and helpful. Joanne was available at all times, whether in person, by phone or by email. Thanks to all their hard work our wedding was fantastic and allowed family and friends help us celebrate in a safe environment. We got to enjoy life without worrying about covid for a day. Our sincerest thanks to all involved on a great team.

Where do I begin. Joanne was absolutely amazing. Planning a wedding, and postponing a wedding because of covid to a new date, is hard, but Joanne put us so at ease . She made the whole process so easy and calming for us. Joanne was always on hand for any questions we had, even down to vendors. Joanne is a true credit to Radisson Blu. I think she was the initial reason we decided to stay with Radisson over other hotels. Then she introduced us to our function manager, Dori. What a cool and calm character. From helping with wedding tasting to the big day and making sure everything went super smoothly. She is fantastic. Then the food. Even today we met with a couple who we invited, and they are still raving about the food. It was out of this world. Every plate was consistent with absolutely no complaints at all. If anyone is ever considering having Radisson Blu as their venue for theIr special day, all I can say is you will not be disappointed. They have an absolutely amazing team and staff. Joanne is exceptional at what she does. We highly recommend Radisson Blu Hotel.
